In reply to the discussion: After Primaries Over, Two Words We Must Never Forget, "Supreme Court" ..... #1 [View all]restorefreedom
(12,655 posts)but every time i have seen a variation of this thread, it has been from a hillary supporter and is something resembling a loyalty oath, or we can't let a repub win, or what about scotus, or blah blah. it has basically been a request/demand/intimidation that when the primary is over, we all better get on board and vote for the nom, which of course hillary supporters assume will be hillary.
you will pardon some of us for being jaded and tired of being told we "have to" vote for the democrat no matter what.
as someone pointed out upthread, asking to vote because of scotus is asking us to vote for a weak candidate who doesn't warrant a vote based on their own record. it is a vote based on fear imo. and a vote based on fear does not advance democracy. it is what people do in countries that do not have democracy. it is everyone "voting" for saddam because they have no other choice. we have choices in this country. i will vote my conscience, with all things considered. and that might mean not voting for a dem in some elections.
